I kind of like the way they have things set up for the artist. So, if you just want studio time you can pay a set fee for studio time? Also, I see artists moving toward being more independent and using the internet to promote their music because it’s all about ring tones now.

My pimping powers are coming into maturity finally :-) Admittedly I haven't promoted the service extensively because we've got a small staff and couldn't handle more than about 40 artists at once. But I'll keep ya posted. As for "bizarre and otherwordly" licensing, let's hope that AND DRM die an agonizing death very soon! Cheers; J Agreed Chris!

That said, the innovation lies in the service bureau model to me, as opposed to the "signed artist" model. I wouldn't want to see relationships go away - just the bizarre and otherworldly licensing. As for Magnet - dude, you have to pimp some more! I'd never heard of it. Jason: unquestionably relationships are powerful not only in music but in every industry.

With that said, this is something we've been doing at Magnet Media for almost a year now. Personally I think Binary's prices are too high. $100 for digital distribution when a band can go through Tunecore for an average cost of $30? Add $200 to that, however, and we work with a band for an entire year with no signing away of rights. What we do at Magnet Media is offer a slew of services, including digital distro, for $300 per year. It gives us plenty of time to work with the artist, develop a relationship, provide opportunities, establish digital distro for them, as well as accomplish a giant laundry list of items geared towards establishing a super-powered online presence for them. Yes, it's a bit of shameless plugging, but I don't see anything particularly special about what Binary is doing. Although I could just be bitter they're in the spotlight and not Magnet Media! haha. Seriously though, what they're doing is attractive. But calling it the future of record labels may be a stretch, Chris. Relationships are powerful in the music industry. . .
